Product Overview

Honda Insight 2 (chassis code ZE) is an affordable compact hatchback in production from 2009 to 2014. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.3 to 1.5 liters.

Designed to be a direct competitor to Toyota's Prius, the Insight was much less successful. It uses a conventional CVT transmission rather than Toyota's much simpler eCVT. On the plus side, the Insight 2 uses conventional naturally-aspirated I4 petrol engines with a proven reliability record.
